ACTION THRILLER
Co-written and directed by Benny Chan with Bob (Louis Koo) stumbling onto a call he at first thinks may be a crank call as the lady is trying to tell him she's been kidnapped.
An acknowledged remake co-written and directed by Benny Chan of the "2004 Cellular" with the only difference is that this version consists to have some heart pounding and innovative action sequences. The other difference is that this one cuts to the chase, whereas on the original it takes its a specific amount of time before the suspense kicks in! The film does not dumb down action situations, such as what a person has to do to get get away from a guy trying to run you over with a forklift! I only wish there were more action sequences.
And I just want to counteract what one or two users comment about ppl who use guns running out of ammo, which I do not recall that their have to be "golden rule" regarding a gun running out of ammo, when the same manner if a guy were to take that many hits and blows to the head and still able to be beat up many guys after 10 times heavier. In the movie "Cellular" the movie focuses more on suspense than it did on action with the Statham character being the main baddie.
